Could T-Mobile Netherlands use a little John Legere?

Posted on April 11, 2016April 11, 2016 by Jules Wang

T-Mobile, after two years of making cutthroat marketing and pricing moves that have forced competitors to do the same, has seen major growth in its subscriber ranks. Parent company Deutsche Telekom has overseen a userbase decline in T-Mobile Netherlands operations of 1.2 million — or a ...

Legere attacks USA TODAY for reporting on allegations against T-Mobile

Posted on December 9, 2015December 9, 2015 by Jules Wang

Labor unions have had their problems with T-Mobile. The National Labor Relations Board ruled against T-Mobile earlier this year, deeming it crossed federal labor laws by not allowing its employees to join or form a union. Big Magenta is about into another fight, this one against consumer advocates on its basic premise of being the “Un-carrier.”USA TODAY reports that a labor and consumer organization called Change to Win is alleging to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that T-Mobile is ...

Deutsche Telekom still needs to sell T-Mobile — and soon

Posted on July 15, 2015July 15, 2015 by Jules Wang

T-Mobile US has been on a streak. So much so, I wouldn’t be surprised to see John Legere actually streaking in Central Park sooner or later. Hey, it could happen.But just yesterday, we saw him tweet out another Uncarrier initiative on changing the way monthly data is doled out on family plans. Instead of having a pool of shared data — as is the trend right now — T-Mobile is returning to the old per-line allotment model. And then boosting each data dose to 10GB, ...

Sprint CEO is tired of John Legere’s tweets, and calls Uncarrier BS

Posted on July 3, 2015July 3, 2015 by Jaime Rivera

John Legere is not only famous for turning T-Mobile around from that infamous carrier that almost gout acquired by AT&T, but also because he’s very verbal about it. He’s well known for going off at competitors publicly for mistreating customers with plans and contracts, and his main tool for these complaints is Twitter. Legere decided to tweet about Sprint’s disappointments in its recent ad campaign, and it seems people got tired of it.It’s extremely uncommon for any CEO to respond to negative comments about any company, and specially respond to tweets from John ...

My switch to T-Mobile, part 1: the Uncarrier honeymoon

Posted on February 5, 2015 by Michael Fisher

After over two years on AT&T, Michael Fisher recently made the switch to T-Mobile US on his personal smartphone account. This is the first in a series of posts about the experience.•My divorce from AT&T began with a realization familiar to anyone who’s ever been in a doomed relationship (personal or otherwise): the cost/benefit ratio was no longer working out. I loved being an AT&T customer, but the charges were bleeding me dry.Some of those charges only affected me thanks to my newfound jet-setting lifestyle. I’ll address this more completely in Volume 3 of ...

T-Mobile announces rollover data (with some limitations) as latest Uncarrier move

Posted on December 16, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Remember back when voice minutes were what you looked at when weighing cellular service plans? Five hundred here, one thousand there? And we were so obsessive over taking full advantage of these precious minutes that carriers started offering “rollover” plans, where the unused minutes from one month wouldn’t evaporate at the end of the billing cycle, but add themselves to your allotment for the following month. With 2015 nearly upon us, minutes are old news, and these days its data on eveyone’s mind. T-Mobile figures what worked for minutes will work for data, and in

All my friends are abandoning their carriers for T-Mobile

Posted on January 24, 2014 by Joe Levi

I’ve been a T-Mobile customer since the company was known as VoiceStream Wireless. Back then coverage of its PCS network wasn’t that great. Big cities and highway corridors were fine, but as soon as I’d venture off the beaten path, my signal would drop to unacceptable levels. I tolerated that because I was covered 80-percent of the time, and the other 20-percent were when I really shouldn’t be using my cell phone anyway (vacations, family functions, etc.). Today that’s all changed. Coverage has improved significantly (though some areas have better saturation ...

Were There Ulterior Motives in T-Mobile False Advertising Claims?

Posted on May 2, 2013 by admin

In an attempt to enter relevancy again, T-Mobile is undoubtedly using the underdog card to its advantage. But it’s possible that some see that as an open invitation to have their way with the carrier. At CES, T-Mobile announced a new partnership with the MLB and announced its aggressive rollout of its new LTE network. In late March, T-Mobile held an event in New York City to unveil it’s new UnCarrier marketing push, a move away from the ominous two-year agreement – or a subsidized contract – in its typical ...
